On the morning of April 18, at the 22nd thematic session, the 10th term Ho Chi Minh City People's Council officially passed a resolution approving the policy of rearranging commune-level administrative units.
According to the project that has just been approved, Ho Chi Minh City will rearrange 272/273 existing commune-level administrative units. In particular, Thanh An island commune (Can Gio district) is kept intact due to its special geographical and administrative factors.
After the reorganization process, the whole Ho Chi Minh City will have 102 commune-level administrative units, including 78 wards and 24 communes. This means a reduction of 171 units, equivalent to 62.64%.
A noteworthy point is that all new administrative units after the reorganization will be named in letters.
In the list of new ward names, Saigon, Cho Lon, Gia Dinh are named for new wards in Districts 1, 5, Binh Thanh.
The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee is assigned to complete the dossier and project to submit to competent authorities for consideration and issuance of an official decision, ensuring compliance with legal regulations.
